without too much on their part. I don't blame them, if they attract new voters without costing them too much, that's a bonus.

You are right, for someone to rely on this as part of his campaign, not a good start. Maybe it'll pick up, but I think with so many candidates in the fray, it's difficult to stand out, perhaps?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
